Thanks for the suggestion Embarrassed

Maybe later, since we'd like to focus on mainstream metal genre now and when the credibility increase + visitors we might go with bordering subgenres.

Should be done quite automatically.

We will keep you posted on the subs, soon. Embarrassed

I noticed that there´s a metalcore sub but not a deathcore sub. So I´d like to suggest a Deathcore sub and well also a Hardcore sub. I realise that Hardcore is rooted in punk and punk isn´t exactly metal but there are many hardcore artists that blend metal elements into their sound. Take Biohazard or Hatebreed for example.

I also look forward to a huge argument when Robbie Williams is suggested for Metal-Related, as he used to play a thrash version of 'Back For Good' as an encore 


LOL  Me too

Well I was a bit out of breath after reading that novel about Rush's 2112 album. Let me get something straight. I haven't written that many metal reviews but there are a few I'm proud of such as my Black Sabbath Paranoid review and my Rush Hemispheres review. Is all that going to be transfered over to this new site? I mean I know we don't get paid for writing these reviews but at least I'd like to keep track of the sh*t I've written good or bad.

Ian, you can copy and paste your reviews to the new site once you've registered. I did so with a couple of my Blue Oyster Cult reviews, and will definitely continue with the other metal-related reviews I have written so far.

That's not what I meant. What I meant was is Max going to remove our metal reviews from PA and stick them on this new site? I would rather that my reviews stay on PA. I'm not a big metal freak but I like some of it.

Have you thought about how to handle redundancy? If the new metal website has a section for Progressive Metal, this problem will inevitably arise.

I think that's not a problem because our reviews here are made to rate it in prog ways as the other site has different rules, so we have to edit it a little bit to make accurate reviews... that's what I'm doing down there... all references to prog "insides" are taken away...

While this MusicBrainz thing saves a lot of effort adding endless amounts of albums, it makes a lot of unnecessary additions as well. For example the Metallica discography is a terrible mess of unofficial releases, duplicates and other weird things. Should we report these things (noticed some mistakes with Judas Priest as well, haven't dared to check others out yet) or is there enough work already with getting the whole site off the ground?
It's on PA!
